ML7999A2001 Littelfuse Corporation (NASDAQ: LFUS) is an industrial technology manufacturing company dedicated to powering a sustainable, connected and safer world. The company announced the launch of MATE-12B magnetic spring switch series. Compared to existing 12.7mm magnetic spring switches, these ultra-small magnetic spring switches have a longer service life and higher reliability, enabling millions of cycles. Its service life exceeds the requirements of automatic test equipment and electrical applications.

ML7999A2001 MATE-12B is a normally open switch with a 12.7 mm x 1.8 mm (0.276″ x 0.071″) glass housing that can switch voltages up to 200 Vdc 10 W. This switch has a high insulation resistance of 1012 ohms (minimum) and a low contact resistance of less than 100 milliohms.

The MATE-12B series of magnetic spring switches is ideal for markets that require long service life and high reliability, such as:
• Automatic test equipment (ATE) for power semiconductor testing,
• Appliances, as well
• Other limit switch applications.

ML7999A2001 Key benefits and differentiators of MATE-12B include:
High reliability and long service life: through extensive testing and verification, millions of operating cycles can be achieved, which has significant advantages over the currently available 7 mm magnetic spring switches.
• Design flexibility: The ultra-small magnet size and sealed glass housing make it suitable for more challenging environments and applications.
• Save PCB space: Extremely compact size and light weight help reduce the size of the final product.
• Suitable for harsh environments: fully sealed, cULus compliant.

ML7999A2001 “MATE-12B is an extension of our existing product line and will help our end customers significantly improve efficiency and extend service life.” “Minimizing the risk of failure is particularly important for limit switch applications such as automatic test equipment for electrical appliances and power semiconductors,” said Wayne Wang, global product Manager at Littelfuse.
